Name Pronunciation


Bruna, with the stress on the 'na.' Its basically like Bruno Mars but with an 'a' instead of an 'o'.


Matlab Demonstration


My favorite Matlab Demonstration was 'World Traveler 3-D Globe.' While the code for this demonstration was very long and difficult to understand, I really enjoyed looking at a sample of complex code and what it can produce. It was really interesting to see exactly how you need to type things into a computer in order to get the program to understand what you want. I had always heard of the 'if this...then this' statements that programers use while writing code in order to tell the program what to do for different scenarios, but I had never seen it in action before looking at this demo and several of the other Matlab examples. This demo also combined something practical, like seeing how to get from one city to another on a flight trajectory, with a complex graphic, the globe, which was in itself its own example under 'Earth Topography.' It was interesting to see this graphic combined with an interactive program.
